Tourists Going To New Zealand For The Grubs

HOKITIKA, New Zealand (Wireless Flash - FlashNews)  A lot of tourists
are heading to Hokitika, New Zealand, this week in order to get
grubby  as in grubs.

The town of 3,000 kiwis will be hosting its 15th annual
Wildfoods Festival on Saturday (Mar. 12) and more than 20,000
people from around the globe will be attending in order to dine
on local delicacies like wasabi-flavored wasps, earthworm sushi,
seagull eggs and scorpions.

Other vile-sounding vittles on the menu include steamed
beetles with sandfly dressing, huhu grubs and garlic worms.

But the piece de la resistance may be the
mountain oysters flavored with something called
testicle sauce.

It might be hard to swallow, but the festival gets raves from
foodies and Lahood says the biggest problem facing festivalgoers
isnt throwing up after a meal but figuring out what kind of
wine goes best with possum pie.
